Pulpotomy in New York, NY
Removal of infected nerve tissue from a baby tooth to relieve pain and preserve the tooth until it is naturally lost.
How it works
A baby tooth root canal
A pulpotomy removes the infected portion of the nerve inside a baby tooth. The remaining healthy tissue is treated with medication and the tooth is sealed, usually with a crown, to hold space until the permanent tooth erupts.
This procedure saves the baby tooth from early extraction, which helps maintain proper spacing and alignment for the developing permanent teeth.
